2018 Vintage Rated Excellent Quality

The 2018 vintage has received an excellent quality rating from the Rioja regulatory board, the Consejo Regulador, confirming the high expectations that winemakers held during the harvest. The rating highlights the consistent production standards maintained by Bodegas Manzanos across its estates. The 2018 growing season presented some challenges, including variable spring weather, but the experienced vineyard management team at Manzanos navigated these conditions skillfully. The result was a harvest of grapes with excellent structure, balance, and aging potential. Wines from the 2018 vintage are already showing great promise in barrel, with deep color, complex aromas, and well-integrated tannins. The winemaking team anticipates that this vintage will produce outstanding crianza and reserva wines that will be released in the coming years. The excellent rating reinforces the position of Bodegas Manzanos among the top producers in the Rioja denomination of origin and validates the company's ongoing investments in vineyard care and winemaking technology.
